										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>WP Auctions</strong> comes with the default setting to end auctions on a specified date, at a certain time.</p>
<p>But what if you wanted to make it exciting and <em>extend time</em> allowed to bid, for those last minute/second bidders?</p>
<h3>EXTRA BIDDING TIME</h3>
<p>The plugin allows you to specify a &#8220;Time Window&#8221; within which if a bid is placed it would extend the auction with the &#8220;Time Extension&#8221; you set.</p>
<p>For example, if a bid is placed in the last 30 minutes of the auction then the ending time of the auction will extend by 10 minutes. You can even specify 1 minute, to make it exciting.</p>
<p>Currently we only support setting minutes, since it may take some time for the page to reload in the last few minutes if a lot of people are bidding simultaneously.</p>
<p>So there you go, enjoy using this feature and make the last few moments of your auction an exciting one!</p>
<p>—</p>
<p>Buy the first <strong><a href="https://wpauctions.com/download/">wordpress auction plugin</a></strong> created, active since 2008!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With WP Auctions 4.0 you now have the option to hold auctions in any of the 3 bidding engines that come with the plugin.</p>
<h3>1. Simple Bidding</h3>
<p>This is the simplest bidding engine. Here what you bid is what you get. So if a bidders bids $10, the current bid is $10. If they bid $42.76 the current bid is $42.76. When used in conjunction with the minimum bid increment the bid place will have to exceed the increment amount set.</p>
<h3>2. Proxy Bidding</h3>
<p>Our default engine, proxy bidding enables a user to set a Maximum Bid till which they are protected from being outbid. So if Bidder A places a Maximum Bid of $20 and Bidder B comes along to try and outbid A, A will be protected till B outbids A over $20. When used together with the minimum bid increment setting the increment amount will have to be met for any new bids, but it does not invalidate the proxy Maximum Bid set by Bidder A.</p>
<h3>3. Reverse Bidding</h3>
<p>This bidding engine enables you to hold auctions that go <strong>down</strong> in price. If an auction starts at $50 and someone is willing to <a href="https://wpauctions.com/bid-click-and-win-unveiling-the-world-of-auction-software/">bid</a> $49 they can do so and so on and so forth until the lowest price wins. This type of engine is usually used for contract bidding and items that are serviceable in nature.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The plugin is versatile enough to help you hold private auctions for trusted bidders only. When you enable the option to allow only registered users to bid, the plugin will require all bidders to register as &#8220;subscribers&#8221; (the default lowest denomination allowed by WordPress). You are free to screen them further if you like and remove anyone who you feel does not meet your criteria to bid simply by removing them from the &#8220;Users&#8221; admin area.</p>
<p>This feature is best utilized for high ticket items or for auctions that require your bidders to be in a certain area. You can combine any other plugin that allows for further registration information and WP Auctions will work just as well.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This popular feature allows you to set a reserve price below which you are not obligated to sell the item. The sidebar, popup and auction in a post widgets specify whether the reserve has been met or not. If your item does not meet the reserve price the last bidder to have placed their bid is sent an email saying that the auction did not reach your set reserve. You can customize this email too to include more information if you like.</p>
